Men's Lacrosse

Every team needs them: those men who are trench dwellers. Tom thrives in the muck, enjoying the 1v1 battles at the face-off X and the subsequent grind for the loose ball. He relishes the victories while ignoring the pain and slashes that inevitably come his way. Tom learned a great deal from veteran Seth Ratner last year and has made measurable gains already. Important to Tom and the program is his stick work and shooting progression so that he can become more consistent with his offensive charges to the cage after a face-off win.
